SUBSTITUTED PYRAZOLO[3,4-d]PYRIMIDINES AS KINASE INHIBITORS

ABSTRACT

The present disclosure provides compounds of Formula (IA) and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof that are tyrosine kinase inhibitors, in particular BTK, and are potentially useful for the treatment of diseases treatable by inhibition of tyrosine kinases such as cancer, inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, and the like. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and processes for preparing such compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

The present disclosure provides certain small-molecule compounds that are tyrosine kinase inhibitors, in particular Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, and are therefore useful for the treatment of diseases treatable by inhibition of tyrosine kinases such as cancer and inflammatory diseases. Also provided are certain pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and processes for preparing such compounds.

The human genome contains at least 500 genes encoding protein kinases. Many of these kinases have been implicated in human disease and as such represent potentially attractive therapeutic targets. BTK, a member of the Tec family non-receptor tyrosine kinases, is essential for B cell signaling downstream from the B-cell receptor. It is expressed in B cells and other hematopoietic cells such as monocytes, macrophages, and mast cells.

BTK is reported to function in various aspects of B cell function that maintain the B cell repertoire (see Gauld S. B. et al., B cell antigen receptor signaling: roles in cell development and disease. Science, 296:1641-2. 2002)). Clinical validation of the role of B cells in RA has been provided by the efficacy of the biologic Rituxan (an anti-CD20 antibody), which depletes B cells as a mechanism of action (see Perosa F., et al., CD20-depleting therapy in autoimmune diseases: from basic research to the clinic. J Intern Med. 267:260-77. 2010 and Dörner T, et al. Targeting B cells in immune-mediated inflammatory disease: a comprehensive review of mechanisms of action and identification of biomarkers. Pharmacol Ther. 125:464-75. 2010). BTK is reported to be required for B cell development because patients with the disease X-linked agammaglobulinemia (see Rosen F. S., et al., The primary immunodeficiencies. N Engl J Med. 333:431-40. 1995) lack of antibodies in their bloodstream. Notably, small-molecule BTK inhibitors in pre-clinical development have been reported to be efficacious in collagen-induced arthritis (see Pan Z., et al., Discovery of selective irreversible inhibitors for Bruton's tyrosine kinase. J. Med. Chem. 2:58-61. 2007). The potential advantage of a small molecule BTK inhibitor (beyond the inherent advantage of a small-molecule over a biologic) is that modulation of BTK can inhibit B cell function without permanent removal of the B cell itself. Therefore, the long periods of low B cell levels experienced with the biologic Rituxan should be avoidable by targeting BTK with a small molecule BTK inhibitor.

In addition, the disease modifying activities of BTK are expected to extend beyond those of Rituxan because of effects on addition cellular targets that are involved in propagation of disease. For instance, antigen induced mast cell degranulation is reportedly impaired in mast cells derived from the bone marrow of BTK deficient mice, demonstrating that BTK is downstream of the FcεR receptor (see Setoguchi R., et al., Defective degranulation and calcium mobilization of bone-marrow derived mast cells from Xid and BTK-deficient mice. Immunol Lett. 64:109-18. 1998). A similar signaling module exists in monocytes and macrophages for the FcγR1 receptor indicating BTK inhibition is highly likely to modulate TNF production in response to IgG. Both mast cells and macrophages are thought to contribute to propagation of the inflammatory cytokine environment of the diseased synovium.

In addition to the peripheral and synovial effects of BTK inhibition described above, BTK inhibition reportedly will have bone protective effects in an inflamed joint (see Gravallese E. M., et al., Synovial tissue in rheumatoid arthritis is a source of osteoclast differentiation factor. Arthritis Rheum. 43:250-8. 2000). Studies with mice that are either deficient in BTK or have impaired BTK function have reportedly demonstrated that Rank ligand-induced osteoclast differentiation is impaired in the absence of BTK function (see Lee S. H., et. al., The tec family tyrosine kinase BTK Regulates RANKL-induced osteoclast maturation. J. Biol. Chem. 283:11526-34. 2008). Taken together, these studies can be interpreted as suggesting that a BTK inhibitor could inhibit or reverse the bone destruction that occurs in RA patients. Given the importance of B cells in autoimmune disease, BTK inhibitors could also have utility in other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (see Shlomchik M. J., et. al., The role of B cells in lpr/lpr-induced autoimmunity. J. Exp Med. 180:1295-1306. 1994). Notably, an irreversible BTK inhibitor has been reported to display efficacy in the mouse MRL/lpr lupus model, reducing autoantibody production and renal damage (see Honigberg L. A., The Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor PCI-32765 blocks B-cell activation and is efficacious in models of autoimmune disease and B-cell malignancy. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 107:13075-80. 2010).

There is also potential for BTK inhibitors for treating allergic diseases (see Honigberg, L., et. al., The selective BTK inhibitor PCI-32765 blocks B cell and mast cell activation and prevents mouse collagen indiced arthritis. Clin. Immunol. 127 S1:S111. 2008). In addition, the irreversible inhibitor reportedly suppresses passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) induced by IgE antigen complex in mice (see Honigberg, L., et. al., The selective BTK inhibitor PCI-32765 blocks B cell and mast cell activation and prevents mouse collagen indiced arthritis. Clin. Immunol. 127 S1:S111. 2008). These reported findings are in agreement with those noted with BTK-mutant mast cells and knockout mice and can be interpreted as suggesting that BTK inhibitors may be useful for the treatment of asthma, an IgE-dependent allergic disease of the airway.

In addition, platelet aggregation in response to collagen or collagen-related peptide is reportedly impaired in XLA patients who lack BTK function (see Quek L. S, et al., A role for Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) in platelet activation by collagen. Curr. Biol. 8:1137-40.1998). This is manifested by changes downstream from GPIV, such as phosphorylation of PLCgamma2 and calcium flux, which can be interpreted as suggesting potential utility in treating thromboembolic diseases.

Preclinical studies with a selective inhibitor of BTK have reportedly shown effects on spontaneous canine B cell lymphomas suggesting a potential utility in human lymphomas or other hematologic malignancies including chronic lymphocytic leukemia. In addition, clinical trials with PCI-32765 can be interpreted as indicating utility for a BTK inhibitor in both chronic lymphocytic leukemia and mantle cell lymphoma (see Fowler, N et al., The Btk inhibitor, PCI-32765, induces durable responses with minimal toxicity in patients with relapsed/refractory Bcell malignancies: results from a phase I study. Blood 2010; 116 (21):425; Byrd J. C., et al. Activity and tolerability of the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) inhibitor PCI-32765 in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL): Interim results of a phase Ib/II study. J Clin Oncol 2011; 29:6508).

ITK, a member of the TEC kinase family, is reportedly involved in activation of T cells and mast cells (see Iyer A. S. et al. Absence of Tec Family Kinases Interleukin-2 Inducible T cell Kinase (Itk) and Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (Btk) Severely Impairs Fc{epsilon}RI-dependent Mast Cell Responses. J. Biol Chem.; 286:9503-13. 2011) and is a potential target in inflammatory immune diseases such as asthma. Mice deficient in ITK are reportedly resistant to development of allergic asthma (see Sahu N, et al., Differential sensitivity to Itk kinase signals for T helper 2 cytokine production and chemokine-mediated migration. J. Imnmunol. 180:3833-8. 2008). Another family member, BMX, is reportedly involved in supporting tumor angiogenesis through it's role in the tumor vascular endothelium (see Tu T, et al., Bone marrow X kinase-mediated signal transduction in irradiated vascular endothelium. Cancer Res. 68:2861-9. 2008) and is also progressively up-regulated during bladder cancer progression (see Guo S., et al., Tyrosine Kinase ETK/BMX Is Up-Regulated in Bladder Cancer and Predicts Poor Prognosis in Patients with Cystectomy. PLoS One. 6:e17778. 2011), which can be interpreted to suggest a potential therapeutic target in this type cancer. The B lymphoid kinase (hereafter, sometimes expressed as “BLK”) is reportedly linked through genetic association with a variety of rheumatic diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis (see Ito I, et al., Association of the FAMI67A-BLK region with systemic sclerosis. Arthritis Rheum. 62:890-5. 2010).

Accordingly, there is a need for compounds that inhibit tyrosine kinases, and particularly BTK inhibitors, thereby providing treatment for diseases such as autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, thromboembolic diseases, and cancer. The present disclosure is directed to such treatment.

In any of the aforementioned embodiments disclosed herein involving the treatment of proliferative disorders, including cancer, are further embodiments involving combination therapy. In those embodiments, the compound and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof disclosed herein is administered in combination with at least one additional agent chosen from alemtuzumab, arsenic trioxide, asparaginase (pegylated or non-), bevacizumab, cetuximab, platinum-based compounds such as cisplatin, cladribine, aunorubicin/doxorubicin/idarubicin, irinotecan, fludarabine, 5-fluorouracil, gemtuzamab, methotrexate, paclitaxel, Taxol™, docetaxol, temozolomide, thioguanine, or classes of drugs including hormones (an antiestrogen, an antiandrogen, and gonadotropin releasing hormone analogues, interferons such as alpha interferon, nitrogen mustards, such as busulfan, melphalan, and mechlorethamine, retinoids, such as tretinoin, topoisomerase inhibitors, such as irinotecan and topotecan, tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as gefinitinib and imatinib, and agents to treat signs or symptoms induced by such therapy including, for example, allopurinol, filgrastim, granisetron/ondansetron/palonosetron, and dronabinol. When combination therapy is used, the agents can be administered simultaneously or sequentially. The kinase inhibitory activity of the compounds of the present disclosure can be tested by methods well known the the art. The BTK inhibitory activity of the compounds and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof of the present disclosure can be tested using the in vitro and in vivo assays described in Biological Examples 1-3 below. A determination of kinase inhibitory activity by any of those assays is considered to be kinase inhibitory activity within the scope of this disclosure even if any or all of the other assays do not result in a determination of kinase inhibitory activity.

Without being bound to any specific mechanistic theory, in those embodiments wherein the compound of the present disclosure is a reversible covalent inhibitor, it is believed that the cysteine sulfhydryl group and a carbon atom forming part of the carbon-carbon double bond (i.e. olefin) of the compound of the present disclosure can form a reversible, i.e., labile, covalent bond, defined herein, such as wherein Cys 481 attacks an electron deficient carbon atom of the carbon-carbon double bond (olefin) in the compound of present disclosure to form a thiol adduct (e.g., Michael reaction with cysteine).

In some embodiments, the electron deficient carbon atom of the olefin is distal to the carbon attached to the cyano group and to the electron withdrawing —Z—CO— moiety (see Formula I, IA, IB, II) in the compounds of the present disclosure. Therefore, the combination of the cyano and the “—Z—CO—” moieties and the olefinic moiety to which they are bonded in the compounds of the present disclosure can increase the reactivity of the olefin to form a thiol adduct with the active site cysteine residue in BTK.

The compounds of the present disclosure bind with BTK in two different manners. In addition to the labile covalent binding, discussed above, they also form non-covalent binding (e.g., via van der Waals binding, hydrogen binding, hydrophobic binding, hydrophilic binding, and/or electrostatic charge binding) with BTK, the non-covalent binding being sufficient to at least partially inhibit the kinase activity of the BTK.

As disclosed herein, the labile covalent binding between the the compound of the disclosure and BTK occurs between the olefin in the inhibitor and the cysteine 481 residue thiol side chain at or near the site where the compound has the aforementioned non-covalent binding with the BTK.

As is evident, the compounds of the present disclosure which are reversible covalent inhibitors have both a cysteine-mediated covalent binding and a non-covalent binding with the BTK. This is in contrast with non-covalent reversible inhibitors which inhibit the BTK only via non-covalent binding and lack the cysteine-mediated covalent binding.

The result of the binding of the compounds of the present disclosure with BTK in the two different manners is a reversible covalent inhibitor having a slow off-rate and a protracted duration of action, in some instances comparable to an irreversible covalent inhibitor without forming permanent irreversible protein adducts. The difference between irreversible and reversible covalent inhibitors, particularly the compounds disclosed herein, can be ascertained utilizing assays disclosed herein.

In general, the binding involved in an inhibitor that forms a reversible covalent bond with BTK, i.e., the compounds disclosed herein, is stable when the BTK is in certain configurations and susceptible to being broken when the BTK is in different configurations (in both cases under physiologic conditions), whereas the interaction between an inhibitor that forms an irreversible covalent bond is stable under physiologic conditions even when the BTK is in different configurations.

A reversible covalent bond often imparts unique properties related to the residence time of the compound within the cysteine-containing binding site. In this context, residence time refers to the temporal duration of the compound-target complex under different conditions (see Copeland R A, Pompliano D L, Meek T D. Drug-target residence time and its implications for lead optimization. Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 5(9), 730-739 (2006).

The presence of a reversible covalent bond in a reversible covalent inhibitor as disclosed herein can lead to an extended residence time when compared to a compound that does not form a covalent bond with BTK. In one embodiment disclosed herein the compounds of the present disclosure that are reversible covalent inhibitors have a residence time of at least about 1 h, residence time may be measured using an occupancy assay in a biochemical or cellular environment (see Biological Example 7 below). Additionally, residence time may be measured using a functional assay following a defined wash-out period.

Compounds that form an irreversible covalent bond in an irreversible covalent inhibitor share these extended residence time properties but may nonetheless be differentiated from a reversible covalent inhibitor using a reversibility assay. The ability of the compound of the disclosure to form reversible covalent bond with Cys481 of BTK (UniprotKB Sequence ID Q06187) and the olefinic bond in the compound of the disclosure, can be determined by the assays described in Biological Examples 5-8 below. A determination of the binding reversibility of the covalent bond between the cysteine residue and the olefinic bond of the compound of the disclosure by any of Biological Examples 5-8 below is considered to be binding reversibility within the scope of this disclosure even if one or more of the other methods does not result in a determination of binding reversibility.

In general, the compounds of this disclosure will be administered in a therapeutically effective amount by any of the accepted modes of administration for agents that serve similar utilities. Therapeutically effective amounts of the compounds disclosed herein may range from about 0.01 to about 500 mg per kg patient body weight per day, which can be administered in single or multiple doses. A suitable dosage level may be about 0.01 to about 250 mg/kg per day, about 0.05 to about 100 mg/kg per day, or about 0.1 to about 50 mg/kg per day. Within this range, the dosage can be about 0.05 to about 0.5, about 0.5 to about 5 or about 5 to about 50 mg/kg per day. For oral administration, the compositions can be provided in the form of tablets containing about 1.0 to about 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient, particularly about 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600, 750, 800, 900, and 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient. The actual amount administered of the compound and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof of this disclosure, i.e., the active ingredient, will depend upon numerous factors such as the severity of the disease to be treated, the age and relative health of the patient, the potency of the compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof being utilized, the route and form of administration, and other factors.

In general, compounds and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of this disclosure will be administered as pharmaceutical compositions by any one of the following routes: oral, systemic (e.g., transdermal, intranasal or by suppository), topically, or parenteral (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous or subcutaneous) administration. The preferred manner of administration is oral using a convenient daily dosage regimen, which can be adjusted according to the degree of affliction. Compositions can take the form of tablets, capsules, semisolids, powders, sustained release formulations, enteric coated or delayed release formulation, solutions, suspensions, elixirs, aerosols, or any other appropriate compositions.

The choice of formulation depends on various factors such as the mode of drug administration (e.g., for oral administration, formulations in the form of tablets, pills or capsules are preferred) and the bioavailability of the drug substance. Recently, pharmaceutical formulations have been developed especially for drugs that show poor bioavailability based upon the principle that bioavailability can be increased by increasing the surface area i.e., decreasing particle size. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,107,288 describes a pharmaceutical formulation having particles in the size range from 10 to 1,000 nm in which the active material is supported on a crosslinked matrix of macromolecules. U.S. Pat. No. 5,145,684 describes the production of a pharmaceutical formulation in which the drug substance is pulverized to nanoparticles (average particle size of 400 nm) in the presence of a surface modifier and then dispersed in a liquid medium to give a pharmaceutical formulation that exhibits remarkably high bioavailability.

The compositions are comprised of, in general, a compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt disclosed herein in combination with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient such as binders, surfactants, diluents, buffering agents, antiadherents, glidants, hydrophilic or hydrophobic polymers, retardants, stabilizing agents or stabilizers, disintegrants or superdisintegrants, antioxidants, antifoaming agents, fillers, flavors, colors, lubricants, sorbents, preservatives, plasticizers, and sweeteners. Acceptable excipients are non-toxic, aid administration, and do not adversely affect the therapeutic benefit of the compound disclosed herein. Such excipient may be any solid, liquid, semi-solid or, in the case of an aerosol composition, gaseous excipient that is generally available to one of skill in the art.

Nos. 4,476,116, 5,116,817 and 6,391,452, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. The choice of excipients will depend upon the nature of the nasal dosage form e.g., solutions, suspensions, or powder. For administration by inhalation, the compounds and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present disclosure may be in the form of solutions, suspensions, and powders. These formulations are administered as an aerosol, a mist, or a powder and can be delivered from pressurized packs or a nebulizer with a suitable propellant such as dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount.

Suitable excipients include polymers, surfactants, buffering or pH adjusting agents, tonicity and osmotic adjusting agent(s), preservatives, and dispersing agents.

Other suitable pharmaceutical excipients and their formulations are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, edited by E. W. Martin (Mack Publishing Company, 20th ed., 2000).

The level of the compound in a formulation can vary within the full range employed by those skilled in the art. Typically, the formulation will contain, on a weight percent (wt %) basis, from about 0.01-99.99 wt % of a compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt disclosed herein based on the total formulation, with the balance being one or more suitable pharmaceutical excipients.

Such other drug(s) may be administered, by a route and in an amount commonly used therefore, contemporaneously or sequentially with a compound of the present disclosure. When a compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure is used contemporaneously with one or more other drugs, a pharmaceutical composition in unit dosage form containing such other drugs and the compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure is preferred. However, the combination therapy may also include therapies in which the compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure and one or more other drugs are administered on different overlapping schedules. It is also contemplated that when used in combination with one or more other active ingredients, the compounds and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present disclosure and the other active ingredients may be used in lower doses than when each is used singly.

Accordingly, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure also include those that contain one or more other active ingredients, in addition to a compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure.

The above combinations include combinations of a compound of the present disclosure not only with one other active compound, but also with two or more other active compounds. Likewise, compounds and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present disclosure may be used in combination with other drugs that are used in the prevention, treatment, control, amelioration, or reduction of risk of the diseases or conditions for which compounds of the present disclosure are useful. Such other drugs may be administered, by a route and in an amount commonly used therefore by those skilled in the art, contemporaneously or sequentially with a compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure. When a compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure is used contemporaneously with one or more other drugs, a pharmaceutical composition containing such other drugs in addition to the compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure is preferred. Accordingly, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure also include those that also contain one or more other active ingredients, in addition to a compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure.

A mixture of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine (150 g, 1.11 mol, 1.00 equiv) and N-iodo-succinimide (375 g, 1.67 mol, 1.58 equiv) in N,N-dimethylformamide (2.5 L) was stirred at 80° C. for 5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and then diluted with 10 L of water. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with 2×1 L of saturated aqueous sodium sulfite, and dried under vacuum to give 150 g of 3-iodo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine as a yellow solid.

Reference 2 Synthesis of (R)-tert-butyl 3-(4-amino-3-iodo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

To a stirred mixture of 3-iodo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine (5.9 g, 22.6 mmol, 1.00 equiv), (S)-tert-butyl 3-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (10 g, 50 mmol, 2.2 equiv) and triphenylphosphine (11.8 g, 45 mmol, 2.0 equiv) in tetrahydrofuran (300 mL) at 10° C. was added a solution of diisopropyl azodicarboxylate in tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) dropwise in 30 min. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h and then concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified on a silica gel column eluted with dichloromethane/methanol (100/1) to give 3 g of (R)-tert-butyl 3-(4-amino-3-iodo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate as a yellow solid.

Proceeding as described above but substituting (S)-tert-butyl 3-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate with (S)-tert-butyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate gave tert-butyl (S)-2-([4-amino-3-iodo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl]methyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate

Reference 3 Synthesis of (2-fluoro-4-phenoxyphenyl)-boronic acid

Step 1

Into a 250 mL round-bottom flask, was placed a solution of 4-bromo-3-fluorophenol (5 g, 26.18 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in dichloromethane (100 mL), phenylboronic acid (3.5 g, 28.70 mmol, 1.10 equiv), Cu(AcO)₂ (5.7 g), triethylamine (5.3 g), and 4A molecular sieves (15 g). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solids were filtered out. The filtrate was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was loaded onto a silica gel column and eluted with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:100-1:50). This resulted in 2 g of 1-bromo-2-fluoro-4-phenoxybenzene as colorless oil.

Step 2

Into a 100 mL 3-necked round-bottom flask purged and maintained under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, was placed a solution of 1-bromo-2-fluoro-4-phenoxybenzene (2 g, 7.49 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL). BuLi (1M, 8 mL) was added dropwise with stirring at −70 to −80° C. The resulting solution was stirred for 30 min at −70-80° C. in a liquid nitrogen bath. Tris(propan-2-yl)borate (1.7 g, 9.04 mmol, 1.21 equiv) was added dropwise with stirring at −70 to −80° C. The resulting solution was allowed to react, with stirring, for an additional 2 h while the temperature was maintained at −70 to −80° C. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of 100 mL of water, extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic layers were combined and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was loaded onto a silica gel column and eluted with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:20) to give 1.6 g of (2-fluoro-4-phenoxyphenyl)boronic acid as a white solid.

Reference 4 Synthesis of 2-cyano-4-methylpent-2-enoic acid

To a solution of 2-cyanoacetic acid (8.7 g, 102 mmol) in methanol (200 mL) was added 2-methylpropanal (18.6 mL, 204 mmol) and the solution was stirred with a slight exotherm noted. After 30 minutes, added piperidine (11.1 mL, 112 mmol) and continued stirring for 1 h before removing solvent in vacuo with gentle heating. The thick material was diluted with ether and washed with 125 mL of 1.0M HCl and then washed with brine.

Example 2 Measurement of BTK Engagement in Human Ramos B Cell Line

The potency of compounds for inhibition of BTK activity can be assessed by binding of compounds to the target in human Ramos B cells that contain BTK. The extent of BTK occupancy is measured after treating the cells with compounds and detecting unoccupied BTK through binding of N-(2-(4-((E)-4-((R)-3-(4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl)-4-oxobut-2-en-1-yl)piperazin-1-yl)ethyl)-6-(6-(5-(2-oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl)pentanamido)hexanamido)hexanamide as the probe.

Briefly, Ramos cells were added to 96 well plates at a density of 10⁶ cells per well. Serial dilutions of the compounds to be tested for potency were added such the final concentrations started at 1 μM and were serieally diluted 3 fold for a total of 8 serial dilutions. The final DMSO concentration was 0.09% in each well. The compounds were allowed to interact with the cells for 1 hr. A BTK selective probe was then added to each well for a final concentration of 330 nM. Treatment with the probe was for 1 hr. The cells were then collected centrifugation and lysed for 15-30 minutes on ice. The binding of the probe to BTK was then detected by Alphascreen (Perkin Elmer) using a kit for the specific label on the BTK probe. The percent occupancy of BTK at each compound concentration was then calculated based on detection of unoccupied BTK bound by the labeled probe. BTK occupancy was then plotted as a function of the log of the compound concentration and the IC₅₀ values were calculated. The assay to measure BTK occupancy was modified to measure the durability of BTK binding in cells by removing the compound from the culture medium and incubating the cells for varying time periods followed by measurement of remaining occupancy as described above. For the durability measurements, the range of occupancy for the compounds disclosed herein (except for compounds disclosed in examples nos. 9, 14, 15, 3, 16, 17, 10a, 13b, 30, 22 and 26) after 18 hrs of washout was about 3-80%.

Blockade of CD69 expression in human whole blood samples Activation of the B cell receptor leads to increased BTK activity, calcium mobilization and B cell activation (see Honigberg L. A., et. al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 107:13075-80. 2010). BTK inhibitors have been shown to block B cell activation as measured by CD69 expression (see Karp, R., et. al., Inhibition of BTK with AVL-292 Translates to Protective Activity in Animal Models of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Inflammation Research Association Meeting, September, 2010). CD69 was expressed following B cell activation as a measure of BTK activity in whole blood. Aliquots of whole blood were pre-incubated with serial dilutions of test compound for 30 minutes followed by activation with anti-IgM (goat Fab′2, 50 μg/ml). Samples were incubated overnight at 37° C. and then stained with PE labeled anti-CD20 and APC labeled anti-CD69 (BD Pharmingen) for 30 minutes according to the manufacturer's directions. Whole blood was then lysed and cells gated on CD20 expression were quantified for CD 69 expression by FACS. The percent inhibition was calculated based on a DMSO control for no inhibition and plotted as a function of test compound concentration from which an IC₅₀ value was calculated. The range of IC₅₀ values for the compounds disclosed herein (except for compounds disclosed in examples nos. 2, 5, 17, 13b, 30, and 22), was about 1.4-0.08 μM.

Example 4 Inhibition of Mouse Collagen-Induced Arthritis

Inhibition of murine collagen-induced arthritis (mCIA) is a standard animal disease model for rheumatoid arthritis. Previous studies have demonstrated that inhibition of BTK is efficacious in blocking mCIA (see Honigberg L. A., et. al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 107:13075-80. 2010). Starting on day 0 DBA/1 mice are injected with an emulsion of Type II collagen in Complete Freund's Adjuvant. Mice are boosted 21 days later to synchronize development of disease. After development of mild disease, animals are enrolled in the study and randomized. Dosing is oral, Q.D. typically for 11 days with test compound or dexamethasone (0.2 mg/kg) as control. One group receives vehicle alone. Clinical scoring (0-4) is based on the extent of swelling and severity of arthritis. Scores for all four paws are added for maximum score of 16. Anti-collagen antibodies and total Ig are measured for each animal by Elisa at the end of the study (Bolder BioPath, Boulder, Colo.).

Example 5 Recovery of Kinase Activity Upon Dialysis to Evaluate Irreversible Vs Reversible Covalent Binding

A compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure at a concentration 10 times greater than its IC₅₀ value was added to a solution of protein kinase (5 nM) in a buffer containing 20 mM Hepes [pH 7.5], 5 mM MgCl₂, 0.01% Triton X-100, and 1 mM dithiothreitol. After 60 min at 22° C., the reactions were transferred to a dialysis cassette (0.1-0.5 mL Slide-A-Lyzer, MWCO 10 kDa, Pierce) and dialyzed against 1 L of buffer (20 mM Hepes [pH 7.5], 5 mM MgCl₂, 0.01% Triton X-100, and 1 mM dithiothreitol.) at 22° C. The dialysis buffer was exchanged twice per day until the end of the experiment. Aliquots were removed from the dialysis cassettes every 24 h and analyzed for protein kinase activity. Kinase activity for each sample was normalized to the DMSO control for that time point and expressed as the mean±SD.

Results: Kinase activity recovered from inhibition by compounds of the present disclosure upon dialysis. Upon extensive dialysis at room temperature, kinase activity partially or completely recovered in a time-dependent manner from inhibition by an excess of compounds of the present disclosure.

Example 6 Mass Spectral Analysis

A protein kinase that is inhibited by compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure may be subjected to mass spectral analysis to assess the formation of permanent, irreversible covalent adducts. Suitable analytical methods to examine intact full protein or peptide fragments generated upon tryptic cleavage of the protein kinase are generally known in the art. Such methods identify permanent, irreversible covalent protein adducts by observing a mass peak that corresponds to the mass of a control sample plus the mass of an irreversible adduct. Two such methods are described below.

Mass Spectral Analysis of Intact Full Kinase

Method:

A protein kinase (5 μM) is incubated with a compound of the present disclosure (25 μM, 5 equiv) for 1 h at room temperature in buffer (20 mM Hepes [pH 8.0], 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2). A control sample is also prepared which does not have a compound of the present disclosure. The reaction is stopped by adding an equal volume of 0.4% formic acid, and the samples are analyzed by liquid chromatography (Microtrap C18 Protein column [Michrom Bioresources], 5% MeCN, 0.2% formic acid, 0.25 mL/min; eluted with 95% MeCN, 0.2% formic acid) and in-line ESI mass spectrometry (LCT Premier, Waters). Molecular masses of the protein kinase and any adducts may be determined with MassLynx deconvolution software.

Results: High-resolution intact mass spectrometry analysis of a kinase that is inhibited by a compound of the present disclosure will reveal a spectrum similar to the kinase in the absence of inhibitor (e.g. control sample). There will be no formation of a new peak in the mass spectrum corresponding to the molecular mass of the kinase plus the molecular mass of the compound of Formula I. On the basis of this experiment, as can be applied to a compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt as disclosed herein, no permanent, irreversible protein adduct will be apparent to one skilled in the art.

Mass Spectral Analysis of Kinase Tryptic Digest

Method: A protein (10-100 pmols) is incubated with a compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure (100-1000 pmols, 10 equiv) for 3 h prior to tryptic digestion. Iodoacetamide may be used as the alkylating agent after compound incubation. A control sample is also prepared which does not utilize the compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure. For tryptic digests a 1 μl aliquot (3.3 pmols) ise diluted with 10 μl of 0.1% TFA prior to micro C18 Zip Tipping directly onto the MALDI target using alpha cyano-4-hydroxy cinnamic acid as the desorption matrix (5 mg/mol in 0.1% TFA:Acetonitrile 50:50) or Sinapinic acid as the desorption matrix (10 mg/mol in 0.1% TFA:Acetonitrile 50:50).

Results: High-resolution mass spectrometry analysis of the tryptic fragments of a kinase that is inhibited by a compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure will reveal a spectrum similar to the kinase in the absence of inhibitor (e.g. control sample). There will be no evidence of any modified peptides that are not present in the control sample. On the basis of this experiment, no permanent, irreversible protein adducts will be apparent to one skilled in the art.

Cellular assays are also optionally used to assess the inhibiting properties of a compound of the present disclosure. Cellular assays include cells from any appropriate source, including plant and animal cells (such as mammalian cells). The cellular assays are also optionally conducted in human cells. Cellular assays of BTK inhibition are well known in the art, and include methods in which an inhibitor is delivered into the cell (e.g. by electroporation, passive diffusion, microinjection and the like) and an activity endpoint is measured, such as the amount of phosphorylation of a cellular substrate, the amount of expression of a cellular protein, or some other change in the cellular phenotype known to be affected by the catalytic activity of BTK. For example, phosphorylation of a particular cellular substrate is optionally assessed using a detection antibody specific or the phosphorylated cellular substrate followed by western blotting techniques and visualization using any appropriate means (e.g. fluorescent detection of a fluorescently labeled antibody).

Measuring the reduction in the BTK catalytic activity in the presence of the present disclosure relative to the activity in the absence of the present disclosure is optionally performed using a variety of methods known in the art, such as the assays described in the Examples section below. Other methods for assaying BTK activity are known in the art.

Example 7 Determination of Drug-Kinase Residence Time

The following is a protocol that can be used to distinguish whether a compound displays a slow or non-existent dissociation rate from BTK, such as typically would occur if a covalent bond is formed between the compound and the target. The read-out for slow dissociation is the ability of the compound of interest to block binding of a high affinity fluorescent tracer molecule to the kinase active site, as detected using time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET). The experiment was conducted in a buffer consisting of 50 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl₂, 0.01% Triton X-100, and 1 mM EGTA.

The first step of the procedure was incubation of 500 nM BTK (Invitrogen Cat. # PV3587) with 1.5 μM of a compound of the present disclosure for 30 minutes in a volume of 10 μL. The mixture was then diluted 5-fold by addition of 40 μL of buffer. A 10 μL volume of the diluted kinase/compound solution was then added to a well of a small volume 384 well plate (such as Greiner Cat. #784076). In order to probe for reversibility of the kinase-compound binding interaction, a competition solution containing both a high affinity fluorescent tracer and an antibody coupled to Europium was prepared. For BTK, the competition solution contained 1.5.M Tracer 178 (Invitrogen Cat. # PV5593), which is a proprietary high affinity ligand for BTK coupled to the fluorophore AlexaFluor 647. The competition solution also contained 80 nM of an Anti-polyhistidine antibody coupled to Europium (Invitrogen Cat. # PV5596) which is designed to bind the polyhistidine purification tag in BTK.

After addition of 10 μL of the competition solution to the Greiner plate, the mixture was incubated for one hour or greater to allow time for dissociation of non-covalent inhibitors and binding of the high affinity tracer. It is to be expected that covalent and slow dissociating inhibitors will block binding of the tracer while rapidly dissociating non-covalent inhibitors will not. Binding of the tracer to BTK is detected using TR-FRET between the Europium moiety of the Anti-histidine antibody and the AlexaFluor 647 group of Tracer 178. Binding was evaluated using a Perkin Elmer Envision instrument (Model 2101) equipped with filters and mirrors compatible with LANCE-type TR-FRET experiments. Data were plotted at percentage of signal obtained in the absence of competitor compound. The background signal was obtained by omission of BTK from the reaction. If the compound is an irreversible covalent inhibitor, tracer will be completely blocked from binding to the target throughout the entire course of the experiment. If the compound is a reversible covalent inhibitor, the tracer will bind the target as the compound dissociates from the target.

Example 8 Reversibility of Binding

The following approach was developed to differentiate compounds that form irreversible covalent bond with their targets, such as non-cyano containing acrylamide compounds, from compound that form reversible covalent bond i.e., compounds and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present disclosure. Reactions were prepared with the protein target at a higher concentration than the compounds of interest. Both irreversible and reversible covalent compounds bound the target and became depleted from solution. The reactions were then treated with perturbations including both denaturation with 5 M guanidine hydrochloride and digestion with trypsin, disrupting proper folding of the target. It was found that the perturbation returned reversible covalent compounds to solution due to dissociation from the target while irreversible covalent compounds remained bound to the target. The concentration of compound in solution was assessed both preceding and following perturbation using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Using this technique, it was demonstrated that irreversible covalent compound is depleted from solution in both the native and perturbed state, while compounds and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts disclosed herein were depleted in the folded state but returned to solution following perturbation of the target evidencing that compounds and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts disclosed herein form reversible covalent bond.
